South Melbourne Market

2013-06-19T19:06:00.001+10:00

Today I took the boys on an outing to the South Melbourne Market. It's one our favorite things to do in Melbourne - it's got fresh food galore, including a number of organic stores and the boys always look forward to a yummy treat.

At Organic Produce you'll find just that - a wonderful selection of fresh organic produce. You'll see today's shop in the bottom corner - my basket includes wintery parsnips, carrots, tomatoes and broccoli.

Our next stop is always Sourdough Bakehouse - Artisan Organic Genuine Sourdough for divine sourdough and sweet treats. The boys wanted a croissant each and I chose an Organic Apple Sourdough Scroll (I had half and managed to use my will power and saved the other half for my Husband!). I also couldn't resist a loaf of Sourdough - one of my favorites in Melbourne!

Then it was time for us to enjoy our sourdough treats. Mr 4 is clearly proud to show of his mini croissant...

My Apple Scroll was just gorgeous... and yes I DID save half for my Husband!

Another of our favorite South Melbourne Market stores is TOMS - The Organic Meat Specialist. The boys wanted sausages for dinner, so I got a few of those plus some chicken wings for stock making later in the week. Mr 2 ran eagerly towards TOMS and helped pick out his sausages - he loves his meat!

When you're looking for what to do in Melbourne, a visit to South Melbourne Market is a must - just make sure you go with an empty stomach! The boys are already asking when we'll be going back for more croissants!

South Melbourne Market is located at 322-326 Coventry Street, South Melbourne and is open Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's easily accessible by public transport and on market days there is plenty of free parking.

12 Time Saving Kitchen Tips

2013-06-18T14:43:00.002+10:00

We all lead such busy lives, that anything which helps save time is incredibly valuable in the long run.

Here are 12 Time Saving Kitchen Tips which will help speed up your time spent in the kitchen:

1. Pre-chop vegetables and then store in your fridge or freezer, depending on when you'll be using them. When we were preparing for The GAPS Diet last year, I peeled, chopped and froze a number of pumpkins while they were still in season.

2. Pre-chop fruit for lunch boxes and store ready for snacks through the week and lunch box packing.

3. Make enough food at one meal to last for 2 meals - leftover meals are a wonderful way to save on prep and cooking time.

4. Keep your pantry stocked with ingredients for speedy meals such as tuna and pasta for those meals when cooking from scratch just isn't an option.

5. Instead of using slower cooking rice, use speedy risoni for an alternate risotto-type dish.

6. Leave carrots and potatoes unpeeled for dishes that you can get away with not peeling them. This saves peeling time and adds nourishing fiber to the meal.

7. When preparing meals like burgers, shape them the night before or morning for dinner, so they're all ready to go and it's simply a matter of cooking them at mealtime.

8. Make frozen vegetables your friend - my kids often enjoy a healthy portion of frozen organic vegetables for their dinner. When cooked in bone broth the peas become infused with additional nutrients.

9. Preparing a number of meals at one time and then having them ready and waiting in the freezer is an incredible time saver.

10. Clean as you go - have soapy water in the sink and clean dishes/utensils as you use them so it's not a huge clean up job at the end. Also clean work surfaces as you go.

11. Kitchen Scissors - are handy for speedily chopping herbs, spring onions and I even use mine to quickly chop chicken breasts and thighs for casseroles.(where to find kitchen scissors)

12. Keep as organized as possible, whether menu planning or making a weekly schedule - having a plan on how you'll be allocating your weekly cooking time will prevent you from going around in circles in your kitchen!

Those are just a few of my most useful time saving kitchen tips. Do you have any to add? Please share your tips in the comments.

If you're after more techniques to manage your time more efficiently and effectively then The Time Management eBook Bundle will help you make the most of each of the 24 hours of your day. The Time Management eBook Bundle includes 5 eBooks For Only $7.40 and you'll learn everything you need to know about creating schedules, routines and more!

Real Food On A Budget - Freezer Meals

2013-06-17T07:39:00.000+10:00

In this weeks Real Food On A Budget I'll be taking you through the ultimate convenience in the kitchen - Freezer Meals.

Freezer meals are excellent to help you with real food on a budget because you can buy in-season produce when it's cheaper and cook it straight away, making meals for months!

You can spend an ENTIRE day making meal after meal to see you through for months. Another option is to spend a Sunday afternoon - cooking and freezing meals for the week, so you're all prepared when the 5:30 "what's for dinner" panic strikes.

My first experience of freezer meals was when I was in my early 20s (well before meeting my Husband and having kids!). I would make a giant batch of bolognaise once every month or two and freeze it in single sized portions to reheat when I got home from work. It was a convenient concept when I was only cooking for myself and even more so now that I'm cooking for a family of 4.

You don't have to just limit yourself to only preparing dinner freezer meals - in the incredible resource for preparing meals - Freezer Cooking Guide, you'll find sweet treat recipes which you can prepare in bulk for when the need for a sweet treat arises. I often will cook a double batch of whatever muffins or cookies I'm baking just to freeze for a later date.

Make sure that all of your cooking for the freezer is well labeled - including what the meal is, how many portions are included and when it was made. That way, there won't be any mystery meals lurking in your freezer and this will help you plan your weekly meals for your family.

When taking the meals out of the freezer to use, I place them in the fridge to thaw overnight and then reheat them on the stove top or in the oven, depending on the meal.

The Freezer Cooking Guide is an excellent resource to help you plan and cook your freezer meals. Complete with recipes and shopping lists for 22 Breakfasts, 10 Lunches, 16 Dinners, 28 Snacks and Sides and 8 Desserts (all grain free!) as well as reheating instruction cards - the Freezer Cooking Guide is all you need to succeed! (Click here to learn more about The Freezer Cooking Guide)

Bolognaise is still my most frequently made and enjoyed freezer meal - as I said above - it was convenient in my single 20s and it's still convenient today for my family of 4!

In My Kitchen - June 2013

2013-06-16T09:24:00.000+10:00

Last week I learned of this really interesting blog hop of sorts where bloggers share a peek inside what's happening inside their kitchen throughout the month. I had a peek at each of the posts shared and was inspired to share my own....

With Winter setting in here in Melbourne I've been roasting a chicken at least once a week.

Later in the week I'll be making a 3rd Birthday Cake in my kitchen for my youngest... where the past 3 years have gone, I do not know! He's demanded a "Strawberry Cake", so I guess I'll be making a Strawberry Cake later this week!

His candle is sitting on the beautiful handmade chopping board I picked up the other week at The Eumundi Markets.

As I'm nearing the end of recipe perfecting for my Pancakes eBook I've been cooking pancakes in my kitchen... lots and lots of pancakes! These Pancakes are one of my personal favorites for the book - Cheescake Pancakes. They have ricotta cooked into the pancakes and taste like a decadent cheesecake... (recipe coming in the Grain Free Pancakes eBook soon!)

If you Follow Me On Facebook, you'll know that a few days ago I received my first gelatin order. I've already made Mini Raspberry Jellies which the boys adored (recipe coming soon) and my oldest has asked for Chocolate Jelly - so I'm going to be working on that too! By the way - I bought my gelatin from GPA Wholefoods, and you can also Find It On Amazon, if they deliver to you.

My kitchen has also seen lots of cooking with my kids through June. They love helping me measure and mix and I just adore having them with me and their reaction to their delight at enjoying food that THEY prepare. Here's my 2 year old in action... and yes, he often cooks while chomping on a carrot!

As you can see - June's proving to be a busy month in my kitchen!

Be sure to visit Fig Jam and Lime Cordial to take a peek inside other bloggers kitchens.

What's happening in your kitchen this month?

Plane Snacks

2013-06-11T19:01:00.001+10:00

Today I returned home from my long weekend away and unlike on my flight up when I took last minute snacks for the plane, I was a little more organized today and took some healthy plane snacks.

For the plane snacks, I made use of what I had left from my grocery shop while I was away and sliced up an apple, carrot and plum for the snack you see in the picture. I also made an avocado sandwich, which I ate while waiting for the plane as we flew a little after lunch time and the plane was also delayed a little.

The 2 hour flight flew by, I always love gazing at the clouds beneath us....

I'm now back home and, while I had a wonderful break, it's incredible to be back to the comforts of home.

Real Food On A Budget - Food Away From Home

2013-06-10T15:43:00.000+10:00

As I'm away from home at the moment, it seems fitting for this week's edition of Real Food On A Budget to be about sourcing real food while away from home. I always try and stay in a hotel/apartment with a full kitchen so that I can do my own cooking for my family.

Whether it's on holiday/vacation, a business trip or other reason to be eating food away from home, here are my budget tips:

Take Pantry Supplies With You - whether it's coconut flour or your favorite teas or spices, take a small supply of essential ingredients from home so that you don't have to try and source (and pay for) the ingredients at your destination.

Make A Shopping List & Menu - just like you would do for home, I like to allow a couple of luxuries when I'm away from home, and include them in my plan accordingly.

Take Your Own Food On The Plane - healthier and save on the cost of exorbitant plane food.

Rely On Frugal Meals - for example - the versatile egg can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Search online before you leave - whether it's supermarkets who will deliver to your hotel or local organic farm fresh produce deliver, hopping online before you leave and ordering for essentials like bread and eggs to be delivered can save a lot of headaches for sourcing food for your first couple of meals.

Ask locals - for suggestions for local real food eating options, delivery services, supermarkets or whatever local knowledge you need to learn.

My food away from home which is pictured above includes eggs, local organic bread, yoghurt, bananas, plums and my "treat" - a raw fruit and nut bar. I also bought some organic butter, carrots and milk. These essentials have nourished me for a number of meals.

Please share your tips for eating on a budget when you're away from home!

Eumundi Markets - Part 1

2013-06-09T16:31:00.000+10:00

Yesterday we went on an incredible trip to The Eumundi Markets, on the Sunshine Coast. They are open twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I've been on Wednesdays in the past and this was my first Saturday visit and WOW! It was an amazing experience.

There was such a wonderful array of products on offer, we thoroughly enjoyed the couple of hours we spent wandering through the Eumundi Markets.

There were so many yummy food choices, but as we were there mid morning I just couldn't resist a French Pastry for morning tea... with a latte on the side!

We spent hours wandering around the market and in addition to the tasty treats, I also found a beautiful, natural, hand made chopping board that was small enough to take back home - plus, I couldn't resist the bargain!

This has been Part 1 of The Eumundi Markets, I still have so much more to share with you in Part 2.

The Eumundi Markets are my absolute favorite markets in Australia, I'm so thrilled that I got a chance to get there on my trip. I'd love to hear from you - which are your favorite markets?

Cooking With My 2 Year Old

2013-06-08T20:00:00.000+10:00

I adore cooking with my 2 year old. His enthusiasm knows no bounds. He is always too eager to mix ingredients together (sometimes a little too early!) and help me measure out ingredients for recipes.

His favorite task is baking! He's pretty talented, as you'll see below - he multitasks mixing with a spoon in one hand mixing Berry Tea Cake batter while munching on a carrot with the other...

I love having him cooking beside me, even if the aftermath leaves the kitchen a bit disheveled!

Once the creation he's helped me bake is out the oven he can't wait to get his hands on it... even if it means sticking a finger into it while Mummy is trying to take a photo!

Overall cooking with my 2 year old is a rewarding activity which we enjoy together.

By the way, you can click here for the Berry Tea Cake recipe.

If you'd like to get cooking with your kids in the kitchen, then this Kids Cooking Set will help:

Please share your favorite cooking with kids activities - I'd love to find more ways to include my kids in my cooking adventures!

Last Minute Plane Snacks

2013-06-07T09:57:00.001+10:00

The other day I flew from wintery Melbourne to the gorgeous, sunny Sunshine Coast in Queensland. It was a 2 hour flight and I had planned to take a lunch box full of yummy goodies for the plane…

I had to leave home early and helped my wonderful Husband who is looking after the kids while I’m gone with last minute preparation. So the elaborate lunch box I had planned, never happened! As I was rushing out I literally grabbed some last minute snacks from my pantry and headed to the airport…

The only planned snack was the organic ginger cookies – I suffer from motion sickness and ginger helps calm me! In addition to the ginger cookies, I had 2 bananas, a packet of organic dried apricots and a couple of raw fruit and nut bars.

Don’t worry – I didn’t eat all of the plane snacks in the 2 hour flight!! I had a banana, a bar, some cookies and a couple of apricots. My last minute plane snacks meant I didn’t have to buy junk at the airport or on the plane.

I’m a tiny bit of a nervous flier, but when I’m actually up above the clouds all my stresses melt away when I see the breathtaking view of the clouds and landscape below…

I’m now on a short girls only break on the sunshine coast. Rain is predicted for the next few days, but it’s still a great deal warmer than Melbourne, so I’m not complaining!

Please share your go to plane snacks in the comments. Maybe it will help me be a little more organized for the trip home in a few days!

A quick note that you may notice that the format of this blog post is slightly different to my others... I have to be completely honest with you - this is the first blog post I've written "away from home" and so it may take a few days to get it quite right! I hope you enjoy the content in the meantime - thank you!

French Toast Kebabs

2013-06-06T06:46:00.000+10:00

French Toast Kebabs are a fun way to serve french toast to the kids, and sneak a vegetable serve in too!

To make french toast skewers, first you need to make french toast and allow it to cool.

Then, cut the french toast into shapes. I made the french toast shapes triangles and the cut the cucumber into circles, for a shape patterned effect.

Next, thread the french toast onto skewers. (where to find skewers)

These french toast kebabs are perfect for any meal - breakfast, lunch boxes, healthy kids snacks or dinner meals.

I served these french toast kebabs in a meal with more green veggies on the side - snow peas and green pepper.

You could choose to serve fruity french toast kebabs instead and switch the cucumbers for strawberries or bananas.

Please share your favorite kebab combination in the comments.

Here are bamboo skewers for making french toast or other yummy kebabs:

The GAPS Diet - Summer Survival Tips

2013-06-04T12:08:00.003+10:00

It's almost 6 months ago that we went through our GAPS Introduction Diet journey. Being in Australia, we started on day one of the kid's summer holidays last December. We were on the GAPS Diet through the kid's school holidays.

I chose to work through the strict Introduction Diet over that period because the boys were home every day and I could focus on cooking all the meals and be sure they were consuming all of the necessary healing foods.

As summer in the Northern Hemisphere has just started, and I believe that a number of parents will be considering following The GAPS Diet, as I did, over the summer holidays. So, I thought I'd share our GAPS Intro experience with you.

Preparation

If you know you'll be starting in a few weeks, start buying and freezing vegetables, including the last of the spring vegetables, meat, chicken and other essentials. This way you can spread the cost of GAPS food over a longer time period. Read more in GAPS Diet Preparation.

Along with buying food in advance, make as much ahead as possible. Having a selection of stocks/bone broth in the freezer is essential to help you through the first couple of weeks when you'll be consuming the nourishing ingredient at every meal.

Make a budget for equipment and essential elements so you can spread out the costs, these were our must haves:

Juicer - this is the model we chose.

Vegetable Spiralizer

Dehydrator

Mason Jars

Epsom Salts and other detox ingredients

Get Your Kids Used To The Food

Start off by talking with your kids about what will be happening well in advance. This will help to prepare them for the major change. It will also help to take them to farmers markets to shop for food, so they are involved in the process.

I experimented with meals for a while before we even started GAPS, to get them adjusted to the foods. This included foods like sauerkraut, which my youngest loves and my oldest begrudgingly eats.

Bone Broth/Stock is an integral element of The GAPS Diet and I was always looking for more ways to include the nourishing ingredient in my kid's diets. I included all of my most popular methods in 10 Ways To Get Your Kids To Consume More Bone Broth.

In the picture above, there is a selection of meals I made for the kids from while we were on The GAPS Intro Diet. You'll find all the finer details about the meals outlined in The GAPS Intro Diet Posts.

If you're looking for more ways to make GAPS meals appealing to kids then read my post 12 Ways To Make Food Fun For Kids for some ideas your kids will love!

Books & Resources

The GAPS Diet Book is essential reading for anyone considering a GAPS Diet journey. It outlines the theory behind the diet and goes into great detail about how to correctly follow The GAPS Diet. In addition, a consultation with a GAPS Practitioner should also be considered to help make sure that The GAPS Diet is right for you.

If you're going to do just one thing in preparation of The GAPS Diet, I recommend downloading 30 Days On The GAPS Intro Diet Handbook. The eBook was a lifesaver for us through the Introduction Diet, helping immeasurably with planning and knowing what to eat and when. (Click Here To Learn More About 30 Days On The GAPS Intro Diet Handbook)

When Hot Weather Is Predicted - Make A Plan!

This is key to surviving The GAPS Diet through hot summer days. Keep a close eye on the weather report to help you plan ahead for days when it is going to be super hot.

In sweltering heat, when you can't even think about consuming a portion of soup or broth, here are a couple of meal examples which we loved:

Cauliflower Rice
Zucchini Noodles
Burgers cooked in stock
Cooled Soups
Salads (when allowed)

I would spend the day or two leading up to hot days cooking and refrigerating meals to see us through the heat waves - and believe me, there were more than a few of them! Cooled soups and chilled, cooked meat and vegetable were our hot weather staples.

Overall, our GAPS Diet experience was an overwhelmingly positive one. We have since Transitioned Off The GAPS Diet, but still include many GAPS Meals in our weekly menu.

I'd love to hear from you - please share your tips for surviving The GAPS Introduction Diet over the summer.

Real Food On A Budget - Meat & Chicken

2013-06-03T07:17:00.001+10:00

Last week I covered Real Food On A Budget - Fruit and Vegetables and in this week's edition I'm going to explore ways to feed your family meat and chicken on a budget:

Budget Cuts Of Meat - this includes pieces like:

Chicken Drumsticks
Chicken Drumettes
Chicken Wings
Lamb Forequarter Chops (which are delicious slow cooked!)
Slow cooking cuts of beef (also delicious slow cooked!)
Soup Bones

An example of a frugal meal is Chicken and Pumpkin Bake, (pictured above) it's made using chicken drumettes, a part of this chicken which is incredibly cheap and the kids happen to love.

Offal - often neglected, offal provides incredible value for money and nourishing goodness. We love liver, tongue and often pick up Lamb Necks (grass fed) at the local farmers market for just $3.99 a kilo! For more Offal Ideas, check out this Offal/Organ Meats Board On Pinterest.

Get more stock/bone broth in your diet - Once you've cooked your budget cuts of chicken or bought soup bones, you can make stock/bone broth so you can draw every ounce of goodness from the produce you have bought. If you're looking for ways to include stock/broth in your family's diet then click through and read 10 Ways To Get Your Kids To Consume More Bone Broth.

Buy in bulk - direct from a local farmer. You could even share a 1/4,1/2 or even whole cow with friends/family for quality meat at a budget price.

Include More Legumes/Vegetables - to help stretch your meat/chicken further. For example, whenever I cook a bolognese, I include at least as much vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, onions and more) or even lentils so that the dish goes even further and can last over a number of meals.

Without contradicting myself completely another thought is to consider going meatless more often to save. When you're planning your weekly meals, think about incorporating more vegetarian meals so there's a little less meat/chicken that you need to budget for, for the week.

Please share your tips for sourcing meat and chicken on a budget in the comments below.

10 Essential Lunch Box Packing Tips

2013-06-02T07:59:00.000+10:00

Next week I'm going to be going on a girls only (extra) long weekend away, which means my wonderful Husband will be looking after the kids by himself for the first time!

In preparation, I've been cooking a couple of meals, making a couple of checklists and sending a number of emails to my Husband with recipes and tidbits of information to keep him organized and sane...

While I'm away he will also be packing a number of the boys lunch boxes and so I've made sure he has a copy of my eBook The Grain Free Lunch Box handy as it's full of tips to help keep him organized and recipes the kids love.

I thought I'd share my list of essential lunch box packing tips which I'll be sharing with my Husband, to make it extra easy for him to pack the lunches (all I have to do is send him the link to this blog post!)

Here are my 10 Essential Lunch Box Packing Tips:

1. Before going shopping for lunch box food, find what you already have in the house which can be transformed into lunch box fare.

2. Write out a "to do" list and menu and keep it on the fridge.

3. Keep a list on the fridge of last minute snacks, such as organic sultanas, to remind you to add a little extra when the lunch box is almost "complete".

4. Pack as much as you can the night before so it’s not a rush in the morning and to avoid anything being forgotten.

5. Ask the kids what they would like in their lunch boxes, within reason, to make preparation a little easier.

6. Have all lunch boxes and snack boxes open and ready to fill when you're ready to pack lunch boxes. I like using Lunch Bots Quad Lunch Box, because there are 4 perfect sized compartments for the kid's lunches.

7. Make a little extra for dinner or cook a double batch of pancakes for breakfast so that leftovers can go into the lunch box at the same time.

8. Frozen Organic Peas absolutely count as a vegetable portion! A perfect last minute inclusion if you don't have time to chop fresh veggies!

9. Do a quick check that the lunch box includes the major food groups - a generous carbohydrate (sandwich or pancakes) to keep them going, as well as a protein, a fruit and a vegetable portion.

10. Relax! Get the kids to help out by (safely) chopping fruit and vegetables for their lunch boxes. While you're at it, chop fruit and vegetables for a few days at a time to save time in the morning.

If you're after more lunch box planning tips and recipes to help with making school lunch boxes for the kids or lunch boxes for road trips or day long outings, then check out my eBook The Grain Free Lunch Box, which includes 50+ Grain, Gluten, Nut, Dairy & Refined Sugar Free Recipes, Lunch Box Nutrition Tips and guidance for Lunch Box Organization & Planning.

Orange Themed Lunch Box

2013-05-31T11:01:00.000+10:00

Aside from working on content for 60 Blog Posts in 60 Days to share with you, I'm also experimenting with pancake flavors for my upcoming Grain Free Pancakes eBook.

I wanted to make a super-kid friendly pancake that's safe for school lunch boxes (meaning - without nuts!).

That's where this orange themed lunch box comes in... the pancakes are Grain Free Orange Pancakes (recipe coming in my eBook!) and I packed the pancakes in the kids lunch boxes along with orange slices and carrots.

The kids LOVED them and they have been added to my regular lunch box repertoire.

Potato Pancakes Recipe

2013-05-30T16:24:00.000+10:00

These potato pancakes are sort of like a cross between a hashbrown/latke and a pancake, but more pancakey, hence the name - Potato Pancakes!

Whenever I make this Potato Pancake Recipe they literally disappear off the plate before I have a chance to sample more than 1. Here's a perfect example - my almost 3 year old trying to smuggle one off the plate while I was taking photos of them...

The Potato Pancakes are PERFECT for the kids lunch boxes, a healthy kids snack or I often make them for the kids for when they come home from kinder, to keep them going until dinner time.

Recipe Notes:

If you're gluten/grain free you can use half the amount of coconut flour instead of the flour/breadcrumbs to help bind the potato pancakes. (where to find coconut flour)

I love frying these potato pancakes in coconut oil because it adds to the flavor and makes them even more nourishing for the kids. (where to find coconut oil)

Potato Pancakes Recipe
1 Kg (2.2 pounds) Potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small Onion, peeled and grated
2 Eggs, beaten
2 Tablespoons Unbleached Plain Flour or Breadcrumbs or 1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour (see notes above)
Salt and Pepper To Taste
Coconut Oil, for frying (where to find coconut oil)

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potato and onion.
2. Add the beaten eggs and stir to combine.
3. Add the flour, salt and better and mix until well combined.
4. Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan.
5. When the coconut oil is hot, carefully drop a tablespoon per potato pancake into the frying pan. You'll probably have to cook the potato pancakes in a couple of batches.
6. Cook until set and golden then flip over and cook the potato pancake on the other side.
7. Cook until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
8. Repeat the frying process with the remaining Potato Pancake batter, heating a little more coconut oil if you think the frying pan needs it.

Makes 12 Potato Pancakes

We love our potato pancakes topped with sour cream or tomato sauce - which would you prefer?

Tuna And Spinach Burgers

2013-05-29T12:54:00.003+10:00

Tuna is a delicious and nutritious (and frugal) ingredient which my family enjoys on a regular basis. I refer to this canned tuna guide to help select a tuna which is sustainable for the environment while being nourishing for my family.

I made these Tuna and Spinach Burgers using the Breadcrumbs I shared with you the other day.

These burgers are super easy to make - you simply mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and then shape them into burgers. I find that at least half an hour in the fridge helps them to keep their shape when they cook. Here they are formed and ready to be cooked...

These Tuna and Spinach Burgers were a huge hit with the family. Even my oldest, who isn't a tuna fan usually, loved them! The fact he was also enjoying spinach was just an added bonus!

Here's the meal for the kids, along with cucumber and tomato sauce for dipping.

Tuna and Spinach Burgers
425g Tin Sustainably Caught Tuna, drained
1/2 Cup Breadcrumbs (How To Make Breadcrumbs)
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Spinach, washed and finely chopped
1/2 Onion, peeled and finely grated
Salt and Pepper to taste
Coconut Oil, for frying (where to find coconut oil)

1. In a large bowl, combine together all of the ingredients except the coconut oil.
2. Form the mixture into 8 even tuna burgers and place on a plate.
3. Refrigerate for at least half an hour, this helps the burgers "set" and hold their shape when they are cooked.
4. Heat a little coconut oil in a large frying pan. When hot, carefully place the tuna burgers into the frying pan.
5. Cook for a few minutes and then turn the burgers over and cook until golden on both sides and cooked through.

Makes 8

You can serve the Tuna and Spinach Burgers on Burger Buns or with a side salad. My Husband and kids like their burgers with tomato sauce - I prefer mine with a dollop of sour cream.

How To Make Breadcrumbs

2013-05-28T12:18:00.003+10:00

Every week or so I go through the fridge and collect up all those little ends of bread loaves which have been forgotten about and turn them into breadcrumbs.

Depending on how much bread you have, you can either use an ordinary sized food processor or a mini food processor. In the above example I used my mini food processor to process the bread, which I'd cut into cubes (Picture 1) into finer and finer breadcrumbs (Pictures 2-4). Most breadcrumb recipes suggest removing the crusts from the bread, you can do that if you want a super fine breadcrumb - I prefer not to waste any of my precious organic sourdough, so keep my crusts intact!

You can grind the bread into fine or coarse breadcrumbs depending on your preference and their ultimate use. You could always keep them a little coarser so your options are open and then grind them a little finer along with flavorings when it comes to using them for a specific recipe.

If you take a closer look at mine they are a little coarser than traditional breadcrumbs.

Once you have made your breadcrumbs, you can store them well labeled, in an airtight container in your fridge for a few days or freezer for a few months, you can even store breadcrumbs in mason jars if you're comfortable with freezing glass.

Here are a couple of breadcrumb flavoring options, depending on the dish your breadcrumbs will be used in:
Salt
Pepper
Herbs
Garlic
Onion
Spices
Parmesan

Here are a couple of recipes including breadcrumbs:
Honey Chicken Nuggets
Hash Brown Cake
Salmon Patties
Potato & Leek Hash Browns
Fish Nuggets
Cheesy Eggplant Chips

Please share your favorite use for breadcrumbs in the comments.

Real Food On A Budget - Fruit & Vegetables

2013-05-27T08:04:00.001+10:00

In this week's edition of Real Food on a Budget I'll be sharing 8 Tips for sourcing Fruit and Vegetables for your family on a budget:

1. Buy In Season - when fruit and vegetables are in season and plentiful, the price invariably is lower. So, being aware of what's in season locally will help you plan your weekly meals accordingly.

2. Shop at Farmers Markets - skip the "middle man" and go straight to your local farmers market to source your fruit and vegetables direct from the person who grew it. I find that organic fruit and vegetables at my local farmers market is so much cheaper than at the supermarket - and I know where and how my food was grown.

3. Join a local CSA, Food Co-Op or other group buying club - buying as a group can mean significant savings and is another way to buy direct from the farmer and skipping supermarkets.

4. If organic isn't always possible, then print a copy of the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen to minimize your family's exposure to pesticide and other nasty chemical residue.

5. Think creatively and shop for alternatives. For example, organic berries can be pretty pricey. So, when I want to make jam, instead of using pricey berries I choose to make Rhubarb Jam - which has a similar taste to berries but is (usually) a fraction of the price. When a recipe calls for fruit and vegetables, have a little think about the flavors of the ingredient and whether there is possibly a cheaper alternative which won't compromise the dish but save you a little in your budget.

6. Take advantage of "frugal vegetables" like cabbage and use them creatively in meals. This Roasted Cabbage from The Rising Spoon is a delicious dish using the frugal cabbage.

7. Save vegetable scraps for stock making - whenever you're preparing vegetables for meals, save the vegetable scraps for making stocks. The "scraps" bring flavor and nutritional value to the stock, while being strained out at the end.

8. Grow Your Own Fruit & Vegetables - my final suggestion for sourcing fruit and vegetables for your family is to skip the farmer altogether and think about growing your own fruit and vegetables.

The task can be a little daunting if you're a Non-Gardener (like me!) and so I went the hunt for resources to help and have been VERY SLOWLY working through "Apartment Gardening". The guide helps beginners (like us!) by taking you through:

How to pick which seeds to grow
When to start your seeds
Starting from young plants
Carting for your vegetables
The best plants to grow indoors and in small spaces
How to garden organically and more!

I don't live in an apartment, but have a teeny, tiny outdoor space and Apartment Gardening has been a HUGE help! For $5.95 you will learn everything you need to know to get you started - talk about a budget investment! Click here to download your copy now.

Those are my suggestions for real food on a budget - fruit and vegetables. Do you have any tips to add?
